<p>Huge negatives I am worried about:
In grade 10 I was one year ahead in math (Grade 11 math) and I scored poorly. The next year I dropped down to regular grade so I am doing math 11 twice, but scoring 99% second time. It's not like I failed the grade or dropped to a lower grade, I just went from a grade up to my grade. 70-80% throughout year and 70% on exam. Worst result I have ever received. Will receiving 100% term 1, 3 and on the exam and 98% second term make up for that the next year in math?</p>

<hr>

<p>Recommendations:
Head of School’s Business Education
Head of grade/Economics AP Teacher
CEO at Financial Firm (Did Internship for him)
Ski Coach</p>

<p>*Should I do all 4 or 3? If 3 which 3?</p>

<p>Thanks guys!</p>

<p>I think that your scores and stats are really good! Send all 4 recs :slight_smile:
Harvard: reach
Yale: reach
Stanford: reach

UPENN: low reach
Cornell: low reach/match
Columbia: mid reach

UCLA: match
Georgetown: match/low reach
UofChicago: low reach
NYU: match
Duke: low-mid reach
The only reason I say the ivies are reaches is because they are very unpredictable and turn away great candidates and accept sub-par ones sometimes. However, I think you have a better chance at them than many others. Good luck! Chance back? :slight_smile: <a href=“Chance me for Vassar I'll chance back :) - Vassar College - College Confidential Forums”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/vassar-college/1718961-chance-me-for-vassar-ill-chance-back-p1.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Thanks for the chance. You have a good chance at any one of those schools, including the most prestigious Harvard/Yale/Princeton etc. When writing your essays try to be creative and genuine, and do your best to put a personality and a face to the numbers so the admissions officers will go to bat for you. Good luck!</p>

<p>Your numbers look really good. The Bs might be a trouble for places like Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Princeton and Columbia. Also there is so much breadth but not enough depth in your ECs. Other stuff looks great. </p>

NYU: match/safety. Stern = high match.
Duke: mid reach</p>

<p>Excellent credentials – CONGRATULATIONS – but please consider the following facts re Duke 2019’s RD:

  • 48 percent of the 2019 was filled during ED.
  • The RD acceptance rate will approximate 8 percent.
  • About 20,000 RD applicants will be extremely competitive (you are certainly in this group, probably well above the mean, but 8 percent is a daunting figure).</p>

<p>I wish you good luck.</p>

<p>Your score seems to be excellent…Your EC’s are slightly generic for top applicants…If you can make up for that by writing amazing essays, your chances will rise</p>

<p>chance me back here…<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1725426-my-last-chance-thread-please-give-your-opinions.html#latest”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1725426-my-last-chance-thread-please-give-your-opinions.html#latest&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Go onto each website and look at the application requirements. Do not send more letters of rec than required. Admissions officers do not want extra work. Best of luck. </p>
